How to custom root element on custom serialize?

I have some class and need write his property on attribute. But custom serializer create root element without customize. And I can’t rename root node name!

I need use POCO i can’t use XmlRootAttribute. For example:

public class MyClass {
   public string SomeAttributeProperty {get;set;}

   public object SomeOtherProperty {get;set;}
}

public class MyClassSerializer : IExtendedXmlCustomSerializer<MyClass > {
    public TestClass Deserialize(XElement element) { 
                //now i have root node 
               //but it is not my custom node!!!
                var somePropertyValue = xElement.Attribute("SomeProperty")?.Value;
                return new MyClass { SomeProperty  = somePropertyValue };
    }

    public void Serializer(XmlWriter xmlWriter, MyClass obj) { 
            var rootElement= new XElement("MyClassNodeName");
            var someElement =  xElement.SetAttributeValue("SomeOtherProperty ");
            someElement.Value = obj.SomeOtherProperty ;
            rootElement.Add(someElement);
            rootElement.WriteTo(xmlWriter);
    }
}

On use ExtendedXmlSerializer serialize with MyClassSerializer will be created this xml :

<MyClass xmlns="clr-namespace:Test;assembly=Test">
   <MyClassNodeName SomeProperty = "SomePropertyValue"> 
       <SomeOtherProperty> SomeOtherPropertyValue </SomeOtherProperty>
   </MyClassNodeName>
</MyClass>

But I need MyClassNodeName as root node!

I have two diffent program and need serialize DTO to xml and send to other program in some xml structure.

public class RootClass {
   public string SomeAttributeProperty {get;set;}

   public A ManyToOneReference {get;set;}

   public B OneToManyReference {get;set;}
   
}

public class A {  
    public string Name {get;set;}
}

public class B {  
    public string Name {get;set;}
}

I need xml in format:

<RootClassNodeName SomeAttributeProperty = "SomeAttributeProperty" Name="ManyToOneReference.Name" >
      <B Name = "BName1" />
       ......
      <B Name = "BNameN" />
  </RootClassNodeName>

XmlSerializer can’t serialize A.Name to attribute. So i find ExtendedXmlSerializer.

If I set configuration via fluent API a can’t configure attribute. When I use UseAutoFormatting() then i can’t custom some other node When I use IExtendedXmlCustomSerializer I can’t custom root node. When I use ISerializer<T> i can’t use .Net parser such as XmlWriter or XDocument.

P.S. xml shema is more difficult and I show piece with problem
